Citizenfour on Popcorn Time
I just discovered that the documentary about Edward Snowden is now available on PT.
Don't forget to turn on PeerGuardian or VPN before watching the movie to stay anonymous. ;-)
How do you know your VPN doesn’t log your traffic?
VPN's are good for bypassing censorship but not surveillance
I can't, but it's useful when you does not want your Internet provider to be able to see your Bittorrent traffic. Personally, I doesn't use VPN.
I am a translator!
VPNs are *excellent* for several reasons, including surveillance. Sure, if you choose a malicious service you are screwed.
I found out about Poptime a couple of months the first version came out and have been using it ever since..
Best piece of software of the year 2014! :o
Never tried PT before, why not torrent instead?
PT is more convenient. If you have a good Internet connection, you can watch as you download (a process similar to streaming but not quite).
That's basically the same. This documentary isn't new (2014), and copies are likely floating around for some time. I just wanted to share that now you can watch it more conveniently.
There's a magnet link you can use to preload the movie on your hard drive if that's what you want.
To be perfectly clear, Popcorn Time works with torrents.
Be careful when using Popcorn Time as some people who merely mention it have gotten in trouble. https://bgr.com/2015/08/26/popcorn-time-users-targeted-rights-alliance/
I believe there used to be a WebUpd8 PPA, but he took it down for legal reasons.

I'll refrain from comment on popcorn time, but you should never let others silence you. Your letting the censors win. The risk from the entertainment industry is insignificant. They've not even targeted more than .0000001% of users. You have a *MUCH* higher chance of getting hit by a car than getting sued. And even if that happened you'd both settle for $20-$700 in near all cases.
I've never used Popcorn Time, but I can see the appeal. It gives that instant streaming approach to movies from BitTorrent and eliminates the more technical steps.
It's also worth noting that these cases happened in particular countries. I don't think the copyright system of the U.S. has the power to punish people for merely talking about Popcorn Time.
You could also just download it from the Bay, if you prefer that to streaming.
I've always found Popcorn Time's buffering annoying. I'd rather wait before watching a movie than during a movie.
Better late than never. Seen it after initial p2p release. Meanwhile in corporate newspeak:

For your consideration (=
you know with https://tribler.org you get the best of both worlds.
download and watch while it downloads and/or stream. + there theres the
beta anonymous download option. proper cutting edge stuff! Tor tech and
bt combined to make a tor-like bit-torrenting.
so the main diff with tribler and popcorn time is film covers for browsing.
A large number of governments around the world including the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Austria, Portugal, Norway, Japan, Finland, and Sweden have begun crackdowns (thanks to large media corporations like Fox, Time Warner, Virgin Media etc.) on Torrent tracker websites like The Pirate Bay, Popcorn Time, Kick Ass Torrents, Torrent Reactor, and Extra Torrent. Whenever you access torrent clients and seed (allow downloading for other users) a file, other users can see your IP address and actual location, unless you use a VPN like ipvanish http://www.ipvanishreviews.com/.
